Followed the directions and upgraded. Did the RBS750 units first and then the RBR750. Appears to be working well.
One important note, I did need to restart each RBS750 after the RBR750 was upgraded to re-establish connection. As each is on a UPS and mounted on the all, required a ladder.
Otherwise working fine at this time.
I didn't see the "IoT" network feature at first. You need to go into Wireless setup. You'll then see a "Wireless IoT Settings' and the ability to "enable" an IoT wireless SSID along with password.
Nice to have this feature added finally. I believe it's important to have a Trusted, IoT and Guest wireless SSID.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modems power adapter from wall outlet.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Also how is the RBS ethernet connected to the RBR? Directly behind the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between?
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.

When you say, “ Turn off and unplug the modem,” what do you mean by unplug? The power or WAN/fiber?
I have an ONT or Fiber Household Terminal (as Cox calls it and there is no way I am touching the fiber it is hair-thin and made of glass.

When you are instructed to "unplug", that would be the "power cord".
